Treasure hunts and outdoor games

Use locations, clues, missions, proof points, teams, and scoring rules that fit the game design.

MapCatch can support playful outdoor formats where progress depends on visiting locations, solving clues, completing missions, or proving that a team reached a point.

What matters

Designed around this event format

Location-based progress

Use key locations, clues, missions, or proof points as the structure for the game experience.

Team visibility

Follow teams in one public event view while keeping organiser messages close to the field.

Flexible scoring

Combine timing, visited points, manual checks, and organiser decisions where needed.

Why MapCatch

Why MapCatch is different here

The mobile app lets the game react to where the team is. A clue, route segment, or next destination can appear only after a team reaches a location or completes a puzzle.

Organisers can combine live location, proof points, missions, manual scoring, and a public live view in one event instead of stitching together a map app, chat group, and spreadsheet.

The public event view can reveal progress without exposing every secret too early, so spectators can follow the story while participants still have a real game to solve.
